Not Since 1936... Never Say Never, Once Again


A reminder where effort can take us.
Where vision and resolve can lead.
What hard work can bring in increments
What enduring pain and early mornings can achieve.

To pick at the seam of success.
To hammer like rain from the gods
To yield to nothing and no-one
To defy what fools think are 'the odds'

To defend when defence seems pointless.
To throw even the kitchen sink
To attack with all you are worth
To make the other fella blink.

To play the last like the beginning.
To fail and pick ourselves up.
To fight on, as though we're winning.
To persuade your opponent to give up.

To be a model of role and of action.
Something to admire and inspire.
To be mindful of looking the part.
Thoughts. Words. Deeds. Attire.

To aim as true as you are able.
To fire. When it's the right thing to do.
To emote and dally sparingly.
To smile, whatever happens to you.


Well done, Andy...Bloody well done!
